formariz 12,144 #1 Posted 6 hours ago Another project going on here simultaneously with the yoke is another batch of hand planes .I just get bored with myself and am always looking at something else to start, always having at least two things going at the same time. This is a batch of 39 planes which are my signature tool and used to be carried many years ago by a prominent tool company in NYC. I have made quite a few of these in the past and it’s something I always enjoyed. Why 39 asked my oldest grandson. Well, I think 40 would put me over the edge and discourage me. With very few exceptions all the work is done with hand tools. The exceptions are due to the quantity being made so it expedites things a bit, otherwise ye olde shoppe gets backed up. I have been at it for a little while and I will demonstrate the process as I go along. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

" Realize that the word "plane" has been associated with the tool much longer than there was even the idea of an "airplane" . Having said that, yes it does fly. It glides effortlessly across the face of a board making it "flat" and in the process creating shavings to "fly" out of its throat. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
